Editor's note

5 Seconds of Summer grew up on YouTube and radio.

A Sydney band that started with covers and found a global pop audience.

For their early energy, 'She Looks So Perfect' still holds up. 'Youngblood' is the one that really defined their later sound.

They built a following by posting covers like 'American Idiot' online, then wrote their own hits. 'She Looks So Perfect' broke them internationally in 2014, and 'Youngblood' topped the U.S. charts a few years later. Their sound has shifted a bit since those early days, but they've kept making albums that connect.

They formed in Sydney in 2011, posting YouTube covers that led to a Capitol Records deal. After 'She Looks So Perfect' and a number-one debut album, they faced a label dispute in 2017 but kept releasing music, from 'Calm' in 2020 to '5SOS5' in 2022.

Archive material and source history

5 Seconds of Summer formed in Sydney in 2011 with Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford, Calum Hood, and Ashton Irwin. They started by posting covers on YouTube, which caught enough attention to land them a deal with Capitol Records. Their debut single 'She Looks So Perfect' came out in 2014 and did well internationally, followed by a self-titled album that hit number one in several countries.

A few years later, 'Youngblood' became their biggest song, topping charts including in the United States. That track, along with others like 'Teeth' and 'Easier,' showed the band moving toward a slightly more mature sound while keeping the pop hooks that got them noticed. They've released albums fairly steadily since, including 'Calm' in 2020 and '5SOS5' in 2022.

Along the way, they dealt with a legal issue with their former label in 2017 that delayed an album. Mostly, though, they've kept making music that connects with their audience, from those early YouTube days to the present.
